目标。对药学博士专业的研究相关课程和研究经验进行评价，并与前两项研究结果进行比较。向美国和波多黎各的88所药学院和学校邮寄了一份调查表。调查工具收集了与正式研究相关的课程的信息；必修和选修的研究经验；以及对学生进行的研究的看法。79所学院和学校完成了问卷调查，回复率为88%。大多数院校（约90%）要求学生学习/完成生物统计学和药物信息/文献评价课程；大约一半需要研究方法课程。25%需要某种形式的项目，并且需求不受班级规模的影响。学生们通常可以以团队的形式完成项目。受访者普遍认为参与研究对积极的学生有一定的价值。这项研究表明，在全国范围内，药学博士项目的研究相关课程和研究经验的程度存在差异。
Objectives. To evaluate the research-related coursework and research experiences in doctor of pharmacy programs and compare the findings to those of 2 previous studies.Methods. A questionnaire was mailed to 88 colleges and schools of pharmacy in the United States and Puerto Rico. The survey instrument sought information on formal research-related coursework; required and elective research experiences; and perceptions of student-conducted research.Results. Seventy-nine colleges and schools completed the questionnaire for a response rate of 88%. Most colleges (>90%) required students to study/complete courses in biostatistics and drug information/literature evaluation; approximately half required research methods coursework. Twenty-five percent required some form of project and requirements were not influenced by class size. Students could often work in teams to complete projects. Respondents generally thought participation in research had some value for motivated students.Conclusions. This study demonstrates the variability in extent of research-related coursework and research experiences in PharmD programs across the country.
